Sprouts Farmers Market in Boca Raton
9831 Glades Rd, Boca Raton, FL 33434
Sprouts Farmers Market in Boca Raton has been inspected 8 times by FDACS between August 2023 and March 2026, with 21 total violations on record. Three stop-sale orders issued on August 13, 2025 required the immediate destruction of time/temperature control foods found in improper cooling and cold-holding conditions. During an August 13, 2025 sanitation inspection, inspectors documented ready-to-cook meals in the retail cooler with internal temperatures of 42–47°F (minimum required 41°F), ready-to-eat shrimp in the seafood display case at 44°F, and sliced turkey in a reach-in cooler at 47°F — all items were voluntarily discarded and stop-sale orders were issued. The same inspection also found raw bacon, lamb chops, and sausage links stored directly over ready-to-eat products in the walk-in cooler, a bakery hand sink lacking a drying device, and a metal cart blocking access to a hand sink in the meat room. All of these violations were corrected on site during the inspection. The facility has completed four focused inspections since August 2025 with zero violations, most recently on March 11, 2026.
